Abstract
Well-defined alterations in synaptic membrane fluidity were shown to be actual clues of tolerance to and dependence on ethanol (Beaugé et al., 1990). Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) influence the brain membrane fatty acid pattern and can disturb membrane associated events (Bourre et al., 1984, Sun and Sun, 1985).
